Bob Ross Painting Game?? (Revolution)

Yeah, I'm kind of wondering if this is real or not myself too. Maybe this is a sick April Fool's Joke... but for the most part, it SEEMS legit.

"In Production.
Bob Ross Video Game.

Bob Ross Inc. has announced in March 2006 that they have filed a letter of intent to license to Joseph Hatcher's AGFRAG Entertainment Group to develop exclusively worldwide video/computer games based on Bob Ross' creative, unique and easy to learn painting techniques and TV show properties.

The Bob Ross video game, currently untitled, is planned to be developed for PC, the Nintendo DS handheld & on Nintendo's next-gen system coming later this year, code named Revolution. Release date was not announced. AGFRAG is currently seeking a publisher.

AGFRAG's Director of Development, Joseph Hatcher, has this to say about the announcement:

"I grew up watching Bob Ross on PBS and was always in awe of how quickly and smoothly he made these beautiful paintings, which helped inspire my creativity. There are generations that know Bob Ross and his painting techniques, and I want to share his talent with future generations in a new medium. "

"The Bob Ross game will utilize the unique inputs that the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Revolution have that can truly immerse the players while they learn to paint like Bob Ross and can play the addictive and fun games that we have planned for the title. I believe that Bob Ross Inc's and AGFRAG Entertainment Group's similar beliefs in independence, creativity, and teaching others will benefit how the game is developed and how the players of all ages will be able to enjoy this game. "

"I want the community to share with us their favorite Bob Ross shows, painting techniques, and what they’d like to see in the NDS and Revolution games. We want to keep the brush going."

The Joy of Painting is seen on nearly 300 public television stations throughout the United States, and is broadcast in Japan, Mexico, The Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Turkey, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Costa Rica, Canada, Colombia, Iran, Greece and others. "

Now, what is your opinion? What would you pay for a BOB ROSS FUCKING PAINTING GAME?

My opinion... I'd love it. Revolution is gaining HEAVY third party support, especially Revolution only support.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It'd better be called Bob Ross: Death By Numbers or else I'm boycotting all video game stores for a year.

How ya doing, buddy?

What's wrong, Skate? Can't draw happy trees very well? =o

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well, you do know that he was in the military, right.

I think it'll focus on his days stationed in Alaska, painting the Alaska countryside. Saving eskimos.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Lol... where I am if you say eskimos you get killed. (since they got their own "name".)

Most amazing jew boots

Only if it has his voice...that guy could paint, I watched his show a few times and you see nothing but a few strokes and then BAM! his has a freaking painting. Gods be damned!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

A Bob Ross painting game? holy crap, where has this guy been for like the last 5+ years? I haven't seen him since 3rd grade, and now we're getting a game based off him? Damn, I've always wanted to learn how he paints those god damned trees, they look so damned real.

FELIPE NO

Well he's been dead if you didn't know. <_<

Most amazing jew boots

....

Double you tee f?

Well, uh, I can't say I wasn't surprised..so..I won't say it. Anyway, damn, I'm speechless. A Bob Ross Painting Game..honestly, that's..original alright.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No publisher yet? I hope Nintendo picks it up and make them shove Mario into it. Bob Ross' Mario Painting. You'll get to paint Mario levels, furiously adding eyes to the clouds, trees, hills, pipes, grass, sky and universe within a strict time limit in order to make everything happy. FAST.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The only way I can see this working out as a game, is if you can save the pictures you're doing as graphics files. So you can save them to your comp, and/or print them.

That was the point of the Bob Ross show... Except for prepping the canvas and palette, what you saw was in real time. So you could do landscapes in a half-hour, and make them look good.

Anyone remember the PBS promo spot with Bob Ross talking as the guy paints -- and then they pull back to show that the guy wasn't painting on a canvas. He was painting the landscape directly on the wall he was supposed to repaint.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hard to say... definitely either $1 or $1,000.
